Landlord's Termination Notice Didn't State Enough Facts

LVT Number: #25645

Landlord sued to evict rent-stabilized tenant for nonprimary residence. Tenant claimed that landlord's lease nonrenewal notice was defective and asked the court to dismiss the case. The court ruled for tenant. Landlord's notice failed to set forth enough specific facts in connection with its claim. The lease nonrenewal notice claimed only that tenant lived at an unknown address in Arizona and that she hadn't lived in the apartment for "an aggregate of more than 183 days."
